BRAD ROBINSON: ANXIETY SPECIALIST, CBT COACH, AND NLP MASTER PRACTITIONER
About this episode

On today's episode, I answer the question: what makes the story of Hansel and Gretel so memorable? Starving children find a house of candy occupied by a manipulative old lady looking to eat them, what's that about? Why does a story like this stick? Well, I dive into its symbolic meaning and how this greatly reflects our awakening into maturation.
